background: injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. there is insufficient data on the epidemiology or incidence of injuries in the first two years of life, especially in iran. the main objective of this study was to describe the incidence and causes of injuries in a sample group of infants and toddlers in mashhad, iran. methods: this prospective, observational study, w...

Charcoal burning has emerged as a novel suicide method in Taiwan and its impact on maternal filicide-suicide (MFS) remains unexplored. Using official national mortality data and reports of MFS cases from electronic newspaper archives, the authors aimed to examine whether the newly available charcoal burning was associated with an increase in MFS incidents during the period from 1999 to 2006. Th...

in order to compare of ecological management of weed control on economical income, yield and yield components of cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.), a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and four replications was conducted in mahvelat of khorasan razavi province, iran. treatments consisted of weeding, harrowing, burning, two times weeding, weeding + harrowing, weeding + burning, har...

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) can be a frustrating condition to the patient and the practitioner because the patient often experiences a continuous burning pain in the mouth without any apparent clinical signs, but the practitioner is unable to definitively diagnose symptoms even with the use of diagnostic testing or imaging. To overcome this dilemma, it is important for the practitioner to reco...

BACKGROUND A double-blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and determine the statistical significance of the outcome variables. Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is defined as an oral burning sensation in the absence of clinical signs which could justify the syndrome. Recent studies suggest the existence of neurological factors as a ...

We investigate the evolution of metal deficient stellar structures, presenting H-burning isochrones covering cluster ages from 800 Myr to 7 Gyr. Evolutionary evidences for selection effects in the metallicity distribution of very metal poor H-burning red giants are reported. The evolution of stars during central and shell He burning is further investigated, discussing the occurrence of He burni...

In this paper, we study a graph parameter that was recently introduced, the burning number, focusing on a few probabilistic aspects of the problem. The original burning number is revisited and analyzed for binomial random graphs G(n, p), random geometric graphs, and the Cartesian product of paths. Moreover, new variants of the burning number are introduced in which a burning sequence of vertice...

This paper is concerned with presenting methods to study transport and lifetime of both gases and particles originating from biomass burning. It is beyond doubt that biomass burning has a detrimental impact on air quality on both the smaller and larger scale, and studying the fate of biomass burning plumes can provide useful insights within this area of research. As pointed out by the authors, ...

A non-invasive technique for quantification of argon laser induced burning second pain (C-fibre) is suggested. Using frequency analysis event related responses to burning pain can be detected in the EEG interval 1-2 seconds after laser stimulation. When the laser stimulus induced a burning pain perception, the power from 0.5-2.5 Hz of the EEG interval 1-2 seconds after stimulation differed sign...

Effect of different additives like wax (polyethylene), stearic acid, calcium stearate, alum, naphthalene and camphor was studied on the burning efficiency of paraffin-candles. It was found that burning efficiency, physical strength and smoke producing capacity of candles were influenced by even adding these additives in very small quantities. Burning rates were calculated while smoke generated ...
